"The biggest problem with the star rating system is the circular logic it uses...." |
|
Message Replied To ========== Anyone listen to Mike and Mike this morning on recruiting and the star rating system? Interesting story about Golic's son who was on of the top TE's out of high school but committed early and didn't attend any of the camps. He got a 2 star rating even though he was on the All Armour Team or whatever. Then they talked about the rosters on the Superbowl team and how many 2 and 3 star players. There were no 5 stars but they are missing the point here because there are so few 5 stars period that you won't find many in the NFL. Better to look at percentages. Your chances are better off with 4 and 5 star recruits. But there are plenty of 2 and 3 star future NFLers. Got to coach em up. They mentioned Scooby Wright III, who goes by the nickname 2 star Scooby. Was a 2 star recruit, plays for Arizona, and is second in the nation in tackles with 99 last season. I don't have a point. Though I do agree that the star system has some degree of politics in it. Commit early and don't attend any camps and the recruiting service aren't interested in you. They want to hype up the guys who have not committed yet.============================== The recruiting "experts" are not talent scouts, and they don't have coaching experience. They base their star system in large part on what colleges are courting certain kids. So, if Alabama or Ohio State offers a kid, then he is automatically no lower than a 3 star, and if both of those schools are interested in a kid, then he is automatically a 4 star. So, yeah, Ohio State's roster is filled with 4 and 5 star recruits, but part of the reason they are 4 and 5 star players is because they were recruited by Ohio State. |
